Jigsaws by brand

Pick a manufacturer for its full jigsaw line-up, with specs and our top picks.

Brand loyalty in jigsaws usually starts with the battery. If you already own 18 V tools, staying on the same platform saves the cost of new batteries and chargers — so a Makita LXT owner buys a Makita jigsaw, a DeWalt XR owner buys DeWalt. Beyond that, each maker has a character. Bosch runs two lines at once: cheap green DIY saws and tough blue professional ones. Festool and Mafell chase precision at a price most people never pay. Metabo and Milwaukee have bet hard on cordless power. Value brands just need to clear the occasional weekend job. Pick a brand below to see its range and where it actually earns its keep.

Does the brand really matter?

For the cut itself, less than people think — a mid-range Bosch, Makita or DeWalt corded saw will all handle 135 mm of softwood cleanly. Where brand tells is in blade-change design, dust extraction, spare-part availability and how the bevel and base feel after years of use. If you have no existing battery platform, choose on the specific model's specs and our rating rather than the badge — then use the comparison tool to settle the shortlist.
